Hello, I implemented an firewall, which is very strict (at least this was my goal :) ) when it comes to permitting output packets. I used --uid-owner to permit outgoing packets only for the user qmailq (I am using qmail as a mail server). The thing is that in my firewall logs for the rejected packets I get too much entries for packets ending a connection - with ACK,FIN, and eventually PSH flags set. Also, as it seems packets with only a RST flag set are rejected too. This is in the OUTPUT chain, for ports 80,25. Any ideas, how I can get rid of this ? As far as I can tell all connections are carried out successfully, but these entries are flooding my logs, and would distract from any dangerous happenings ;).
